Hi everyone....just some quick background. Daughter turns 11 in a couple of weeks. Has been all-star cheer for 1 1/2 yrs now. Progressed very quickly with the tumbling....gained front and back walkovers, aerial, all handspring skills including RO with multiple BHS, RO tuck, and even standing tuck, all in first year of cheerleading. Has recently started taking tumbling clinics at a gymnastics gym, and now says she wants to try gymnastics next year instead of cheer. Is it too late in the game now? She has never set foot on a beam, vault, or bars, and never learned the smaller, but important basics that you learn in gymnastics. I worry that a beginners class would lose her interest very quickly because of the lack of tumbling, but at the same time, while she can tumble, she has significant catch up to do in many other areas.
